About:
An exploration of a small town promised Hollywood dreams.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
In 1999, small town Narrowsburg NY was poised to become the “Sundance of the East” – or so Jocelyne and Richard Castellano would have local residents believe. The organizers of the Narrowsburg Film Festival – a glamorous French film producer and her mafioso-turned-actor husband – promise to revitalize the town through film. As the duo secures local investment in a feature film production and convinces locals they can become stars, the stage is set for a stranger-than-fiction tale of Hollywood dreams, deceit, and delusions.
